1d MKiv question

I just upgraded from a 7D, and while I love almost everything about the mkIV I am a little disappointed in one thing. Basically if I am shooting in M with a shutter speed of say 1/250th I can't set a separate shutter speed, say 1/30th in TV without it changing the setting that I had in M. This works just fine with my 7D. I shoot roller derby a lot and am using 1/250th in M for most shots, however when the jammer breaks free and takes a corner I would spin the dial to TV where I had it set to 1/30th for a panning shot. It now seems as if I have lost this ability. Please let me know if I am missing something in setting up my mkIV.

Interesting... never had to do that, but let me check it in a few hours when I get home from work...
I think, though, that switching between modes on the mark IV will not be as fast and intuitive, since it requires two steps (button press and dial turn) - using both hands - compared to a simple twist of a knob on the 7D... but, OK, given time and enough practice one could get used to it...

Just checked mine and you are correct, it will not keep the settings in Av and different settings when you set up in M. I don't know if there is a custom function to make it do what you want.
And it is convenient when shooting the 7D in Av or M and I hand the camera to my wife and just switch to the green box and then back and saves settings when in Av.

Ya I am a little bummed by it. Oh well, I'll adapt.

No CF to do that, at least not that I've ever seen in my use of the 1 series cameras and I do own a MkIV as well. To be honest I've never found that to be an issue but I can see it being frustrating if you're used to your 7D being able to do it and have developed a shooting style based around it.

You could use the Register/Apply Basic Settings function and then place the corresponding menu item in My Menu. That would allow you to jump to a set mode, shutter speed and aperture with a couple of presses of the Set button.

I would say you could set it up to do it somehow by changing settings in the menu for each set of settings, though a pain, though I guess once it is set.

Hmmm... well, yes... you are correct... one can't do it like that! Strange... and there is no CF to configure this behaviour. I guess you will somehow have to adapt...

I found the same issue when I switched from my 5d2 to a 1ds3. Never found a solution. It is frustrating.
